In an interview with Reuters, the president of Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia said that since October last year the company has sold over one million PlayStation VR helmets for immersion into virtual reality. In the market for VRs with connection to PCs (consoles), Sony has become a leader. Taking into account the huge user base of PlayStation 4 consoles in 60 million systems, this, in general, is not surprising. Also, interest in the PlayStation VR is promoted by the relatively low price of the gadget: only $ 400, whereas the Oculus Rift helmet costs $ 600, and the helmet HTC Vive - $ 800.

In the first quarter of 2017, according to IDC analysts, 2.3 million sets for virtual reality were sold worldwide. If you drop cheap cases for smartphones such as Samsung Gear VR, then Sony will be the first in the list with 429,000 sold PlayStation VR in the first three months of this year.

According to Sony representative , the PlayStation VR-type headphones open up unprecedented opportunities for users, allowing them to visit other worlds, the past and the future without getting up off the couch.
